Amid the turmoil of a suspended head coach and the accompanying internal strife, the Grundy County High School football program has spent most of this week facing the unknown, wandering like lost sheep.
Friday night, quarterback Jack Teter and the Signal Mountain Eagles led them to a 63-7 slaughter.
“You have no idea how tough this has been,” said Grundy County interim coach Jason Evans, who filled in for suspended coach Nick Bryant. “We’ve just tried to keep things as normal as possible.
“But we knew this was going to be tough, and I’m proud that our kids kept fighting. We’ll get Coach Bryant back next week and try to pick up the pieces and move forward.”
Evans said Bryant was eligible to return to the program as soon as today.
